Machado gets first (counting) homer of spring

(DNES 21. 3. 2019, 00:14:18, rotoworld)

Manny Machado went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer on Wednesday in his Cactus League appearance against the Brewers.

This was the first homer of the spring that counted, as Machado's other homer was wiped away due to a rainout. It came off of Jimmy Woodruff in the first inning, and the two RBI give him four on the spring. He's still just hitting .176 on the Cactus League campaign, but no matter. Machado should be a 30-homer hitter with a strong average again in 2019, and should be off the board in the first 20 selections.

Manny Machado went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a win over the Angels on Sunday in the Cactus League.

Machado has not enjoyed his first ever Cactus League, as he's hitting just .148 with a .401 OPS with the Padres. You likely know better, but just in case, don't take this seriously. He's going to give you 30 homers and a decent average, and he should be among the first shortstops off the board in your draft regardless of format.

The world at large, the greater baseball community and the members of the 2019 San Diego Padres all found out at roughly the same time, and through the same means -- a great rush of breaking news, transmitted via social media on Feb. 19 -- that the team had just landed star free agent infielder Manny Machado. It was late morning at the Padres' spring training camp, with the players heading out for pre-workout stretching, and the feeling was of a giant foot pressing down on a giant accelerator. (více...)

New Padre Machado: 'I always will be the villain'

Padres megasigning Manny Machado says he has come to accept his role as a "villain" but adds that he will always play the game his way. (více...)

Padresâ€™ prospect Fernando Tatis Jr., who was ranked as the gameâ€™s No. 2 prospect by both Baseball America and MLB Pipeline, was indeed once traded for a player who went on to have the worst season by a qualified starting pitcher in five years. As of this writing, no pitcher since has been as bad as Shields was in 2016.

Here at Beyond the Box Score, weâ€™re famous for our Trade Retrospectives, which were actually started by Spencer Bingol, who is now working for the Red Sox. Luis Torres has been doing many of the recent Trade Retrospectives, and they have been superb. I highly recommend them. (více...)
